RISE TO THE ROOF OF ALICANTE (AITANA)

This mountain is 1.558 metres, so it's the highest mountain of Alicante. Only by this fact it will be interesting to reach its top.

How to arrive (by Diario Información)

Talking about how to arrive to the point to start walking it's important to pinpoint where Aitana's mountain is. It is located near Benifato, so we have to drive by CV-70 from Benidorm to Alcoy or from Alcoy to Benidorm. At the moment we see the drift to Benifato we have to take it, but before arrive to this village we have to go to Partagás Springs (clearly signposted). After 4 km driving by a steep road, we'll be at Partagás Springs, where we have to park and start walking. 

Aitana's route (by bicisenderistasnovatas)

This circle track is 10,37 km length and medium difficulty, because it has the Paso de la Zorra, a complicated place to keep walking, but anything special to have to return. 

The total of the track will take you 3 hours and a half, but if you want to enjoy the views or a snack at this beautiful landscape, it will take you some more time. 

Snow at Aitana's top (by ruralguadalest web)

About the appropiate season to go hiking to this place there is only one advice, not to do this route at the middle hours during the summer. If you want to go during the winter be careful because sometimes there is snow on its top.
